	The Capurro's zone, in the North-East sector of the bay, near the stream Miguelete, was the place in colony times (XVIII th century) a quarantine place for the people that were brought as slaves from Africa. Later (in XIX century) it was a place of water extraction and a sand source for the ballast of oversea ships. At the beginning of the XXth century (1910) the Capurro park was built as a recreative space with direct access to the bay. This constituted a place of reference to the neighborhood and the the city. At the end of the decade of 1980, due to the construction of the route, the park lost his connection with the bay and devaluated itself.

	Culturally, Uruguay is the result of ~~his~~ moderate climate, of his peripherial condition, of ~~his~~ small scale and of the mixture of diverse migratory inflows, principally coming from Spain and Italy and in minor measure from the assimilation of the african population brought as slave during the XVIII century. In the first half of the XIXth century, the native population of these lands was totally exterminated and / or assimilated by the dominant european culture in the process of constitution of the "modern State". During the second half of the XIX century and the first half of the XX century the french model was adopted as reference to institutional and educational level.

	Nowadays some of the principal sociocultural challenges that Uruguay faces, are the population aging, the need of improvement of labor opportunities and the levels of income of a major part of the population (the poverty reaches 23 % in the whole country), the improvement of education levels in the context of a highly competitive and technology dependent world, the defense of the natural resources of the country ~~opposite to~~ the investor´s increasing pressures in all areas, the improvement of the environmental monitoring systems, and diversification of the energetic matrix, nowadays dependent for the most part on oil and hydroelectric power.

	Uruguay is an independent republic since 1825. It is organized on the national level in three autonomous powers: legislature, executive and judiciary. A territorial decentralization of the power exists also, in turn in local governments that possess a legislative power (Junta Departamental) and an executive power (Intendencia). In local areas (departments) both, the laws and national procedure and the local procedure govern. The before mentioned, are subordinate to the laws, decrees and regulations of national scope. In Montevideo the government of the city (Intendencia de Montevideo, IMM and Junta Departmental) elaborates and approve the plans for the city.		Uruguay is an independent republic since 1825.

	A critical aspect is the proximity of the oil refinery. Its movement does not seem to be feasible in a short-term, due to the investment needed (the Uruguayan State cannot confront it today) and due to his strategic location near the port and the routes of access to the city. Anyway, the landscape of the bay has much of a industrial landscape and this would be positive if it would not implied certain levels of pollution.

	Another critical aspect of this project relates to the articulation of the different involved scales (that is, scale of the bay, scale of the port infrastructures, scale of the cars, scale of the pedestrian). The reference images let see this difficulty.
